Kevin: dude

Murder: it is?

Kevin: yes man

everything that could have possibly gone wrong, did

and you ended up with a bunch of perfect strangers buttons and a sheep on a pencil

me: hmmm

YOU’RE RIGHT

Kevin: ‘we are the champions’ is playing in my head right now

Murder: it’s like we transcended competition!

Kevin: we outfoxed everybody

it was the surprise ending no one expected

due to massive misdirection on our part

Murder: dude

Kevin: i coudn’t be happier

and we couldn’t have planned it better

VICTORY IS A DISH THAT TASTES LIKE SIAMESE FRIED RICE AND ALSO VERY SWEET AND AWESOME.

Disappointment and Anticlimax

Uhh…

So neither Kevin nor I won the autographed Nelson Mandela picture. Some dude named “ToadlyCrystal” won it, with a bid of $4.90. Needless to say that’s pretty god damn pathetic. Here is what the bid history looked like.

I think it’s funny that we both bricked not only on bidding in the last hour of the sale, but also in the last 24 hours of the sale. I SMELL A REMATCH.

Also, ToadlyCrystal. Just let that name wash over you for a minute.

In other news:

Levi: knock knock.

Murder: who’s there?

Levi: twin towers

Murder: twin towers who?

Levi: YOU SAID YOU’D NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!

The Great eBay War of Aught Seven Opens

August 16, 2007 · 3 Comments

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IN THE SPIRIT OF AWESOME COMPETITION, KEVIN AND I WILL NOW DO BATTLE IN THE WILD JUNGLES OF EBAY FOR THIS AUTOGRAPHED NELSON MANDELA PORTRAIT.

MAN: THE MOST DANGEROUS QUARRY OF THEM ALL!

 Actually, the original bounty was supposed to be this set of Perfect Strangers collectible buttons and pencil with a sheep on the end of it, but Kevin decided that since it ended in like a day, there wasn’t enough time for sufficient visceral, edge of your seat bidding action. Too bad I had already entered my first bid of $5.15.

Fuck. Without the competition involved, I want absolutely nothing to do with these buttons.
